Tiemstra, John P.

1990 0-88946-924-5The only work that surveys all of the major sub-fields within economics from a Reformed Christian point of view. Proposes a new approach to economics, one that is explicitly normative and based on the concept of stewardship. Considers: the failure of economics to address many current economic problems; the internal failures of current economic theory; problems with the scientific methodology which forms the foundation on which contemporary economists build their work; the application of a Christian scientific methodology to economics; biblical priorities for economic science and economic life; and a Reformed Christian view of the nature of human interactions and its implications for families, firms, unions, governments, and voluntary organizations.
